Learning Strategies

Create a notebook

Create a notebook for your readings and assignments. The first thing you should put in your notebook is your statement of learning goals.

Set your learning goals

Look at the course syllabus, reading list, and assignment list. Browse the Teaching Unit lectures. Now think about what you would like to learn in this course. Write down three to five learning goals for yourself. Refer back to these goals as you proceed through the course and make adjustments in your learning strategies and management plan to achieve your goals.

Develop a course time management plan

After you have set you learning goals, try to determine how long it will take you to accomplish the activities in each of the Teaching Units. Devise a time management plan to accomplish your goals. We recommend 4 weeks per Teaching Unit.
